    he smiles he bares his teeth and closes his eyes.
    They called him "Barrett the Tumbler" and I suppose you know why. I never saw him but there was a crowd around him, his canvas bag left down in the mud and he acting better than any clown I ever saw. I would have missed a very big event once only for the noisy crowd. I managed to pick my way through the crowd and there I saw the "Thumbler" eating glass as I would eat bread. He very seldom disappoints anyone when he comes.
